Architecture of an Outfit: The Grown Up Onesie

June 7, 2013

Aloha, Lovecat,

I’ve been kind of lax on the outfit/style posts lately. For example, these photos were taken in February. Oops.

Is the jumpsuit a grown up onesie? Yeah. It is. But, like the maxi dress and maxi skirt, it’s easy to wear. Jumpsuits or catsuits can be very, very chic, and many designers create casual cuts perfect for everyday, but with more lux fabrics, sleek lines and deep necklines, these pieces can be worn more formally. I’ve seen these on numerous red carpets and at weddings.

{ Sea-inspired vintage statement belt, reminds me of the amazing place where I live. }

{ My street and my view of Koko Head crater, a volcano vent you can see in East Honolulu. }

The only downside to wearing a jumpsuit? Unlike a onesie, which has that ever-so-functional buttoned @ss-flap thingy, a jumpsuit needs to be almost completely taken off in order to go to the bathroom. If you, like me, drink a ton of water during the day… well, you can see how this presents a problem.

The price of convenience: easy dressing in the morning, hardships in the loo. What can you do?

Who knew I’d be wearing a onesie after the age of thirty? Go fig.

{ The only issue: gotta take it all off to go to the toilets. }

Would you wear a grown up onesie? Yea or Nay? Tell me in the comments!
